desertdog 149 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 It could be because they are not being polinated. if you spray some sugar water over them it will attract the bees. im goin to try that, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
woodga 170 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 It could be because they are not being polinated. if you spray some sugar water over them it will attract the bees. im goin to try that, thanks that is the cause your pods have not been pollinated another way is to use a rabbits tail and brush it against the flower heads. use can use the same tecnique when pollinating tomatoes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
